Question

What is the solution of 23x+4−−−−−√−9=13
?(1 point)

x = 39

x = 2

x = 0

x = 26

Answer 1

I need to confirm the intended equation. If it's

sqrt(23x + 4) − 9 = 13

then solve:

sqrt(23x + 4) = 22
23x + 4 = 22^2 = 484
23x = 480
x = 480/23 ≈ 20.8696

That value is not one of the choices (39, 2, 0, 26). So either none of the given choices is correct, or the original equation was written differently. Please re-type the equation using parentheses or a clearer radical sign (for example: sqrt(23x+4) - 9 = 13 or sqrt(23x+4-9) = 13) and I will solve it.
